Comments:

I had the best of several worlds: a Southern heritage, access to schooling in the DC area (which meant lots of cultural adventures), and several years of sculpture studies in Italy. It might have been better if I'd used all these opportunities more wisely, but it's possible that the imperfect and the unwise also add fodder for the artist and the writer.

My life changed radically when I married the love of my life at an age when some would have said I was over the hill and way past my prime. (Clichés often speak the truth, don't they?) A lifelong sailor, I was delighted to find that Michael also longed to cruise lovely waters, which is what we did from Northern CA to Mexico, spending too-few years in the incomparable Sea of Cortez. Sea Venture, our 50' ketch, is back home in North Carolina now because my mama needed care. Still, it's gorgeous here, too, and I can write from home as easily as I could on the boat.

My two grown children, son-in-law, and two step-sons are handsome (or gorgeous, as the case may be), talented, and a delight. And now there's a new granddaughter and grandson in the mix--woohoo! I just wish they lived a lot closer to home.

Look for Sea Venture's clipper bow and beautiful lines as she slips into a harbor near you.
How often do you get back to Alexandria?

Never. Which is really too bad. We tried to sail there for one of the reunions, but I couldn't find help for my mama. Maybe one day...

Do you still see/talk to/hang out with any classmates? Who?

I ran into one a few years ago, but haven't heard from any since.

What would we be surprised to know about you?

My faith. I certainly didn't have any back in the day!

What are your memories of high school (i.e. secret crush, embarrassing moment, funniest thing you did in high school, favorite high school hang out, favorite teachers)?

Excellent teachers.

Biggest thing you would do differently if you went back to your time at high school?

Be more involved.

Where we lived and cruised for a number of years. And the view from here.

Juancho lived down the street from me in my first years in high school, and we became good friends. I remember his kindness, his smile, and his sensitivity.
